Green Chili Pickle...Mommy and I

And back from vacationLand back into the kitchen…well not really…just
clicking something which I had made before I left and it is ready
for me on getting back home…Green Chili Pickle (also made turmeric pickle but
not in the mood to make another post just now)…to the friends who will read
this go “You made pickle!! Yikes!!!”
YES, I DID…this is what good housewives do to ensure they don’t waste
anything before going on vacation and YES I am turning into my mother…and
talking of mothers, her version is different and is mentioned below…off I go to
have my Aloo ka Parantha with Achaar and then a teeny tiny napJ

Hari Mirchi Achaar (Green Chili Pickle)

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Wash the green chilies thoroughly & remove
the stems. Pat dry and ensure moisture is removed or else the pickle will turn
bad. Cut up the chilies into small pieces. Pound the spice mix once or twice in
a mortar & pestle (or use a rolling pin). In a dry sterilized glass jar
with a tight lid, put in the chilies, the spice mix, salt and add the mustard
oil. The oil should just cover the chilies. Keep the jar in a dry, sunny place
for a couple of days till the chilies become pale green and soft (I left it on
the kitchen window sill before leaving, if keeping it outside do remember to
bring it in every evening). Pickle is ready
